Just so everyone is clear

To be fair, anyone that watched the game knows that ISU was the beneficiary of some horrible plays by Nebraska. Who cares though? At the end of the season, this game is still going to be a win no matter how many breaks it took. We had our own issues with injuries that helped NU's defense look better than it truly is, but no team wins with eight give-aways.

I'll leave it at that.

A few were, most gave credit where credit was due. Dont you have somewhere better to be tonight, like celebrating the fact that your QB made the plays he needed to to win a game.

Why would they when our fans keep obsessing over them? Even after we have a huge win.

Iowa State didn't win this football game. Nope. The Huskers handed the game to ISU. They caught the interceptions. They forced the fumbles. They recovered the fumbles. They also kicked our 52 yard field goal and threw our 47 yard touchdown pass.

At least, this all according to anyone outside of the ISU camp. I seriously cannot believe how much people are trying to discredit ISU's win today. It's fine though. At the end of the day, our boys got the 'W'. Isn't that all that really matters anyway?

Thank you for preparing me for the next 365 days

Can you just go to an iowa board for the night? Don't get me wrong, you are always welcome but its odd to me that you are on here trying to belittle our win when you guys just won a barn burner and moved to 8 and 0.

And for once I am proudly willing to admit we won a game we didn't deserve to thanks to coaching, players' heart, and a little luck. This feels about as good as I dreamed for about 30 freaking years.

Me too. Lord knows we have been where Neb is today more times than I can count.

Some of you, yes...but there were many of you claiming that Iowa was just lucky, and that a 2nd grader could have picked off some of those ducks Arnaud was throwing up.

You have to admit that at least 2 of those picks were laid in your lap. I would say the fumble on the long pass today and maybe Helus fumble inside the five were unforced but on the rest, we made plays. Did they help? Yeah, they did but I really believe if AA and Arob play, we win by at least 20. That made a difference. I know what you are saying and I agree to an extent, but I do think there were a few differences. In the end, we won, that's all that matters.

I haven't said **** about ISU's win over Nebraska in this thread. I'm merely pointing out that some of things being said about ISU's win today (that they got lucky) are the exact same things that some folks were saying here after the Iowa/ISU game

Personally, I'm happy ISU won. Help's Iowa's SOS.

Correct. Doesn't matter how you do it, just get it done.

your still a ****** for spending most of your time on your rivals site
 
Just soeveryone is clear. I don't care what everyone thinks. Any football fan that says we didn't deseve to won doesn't know football. We didn't make any big mistakes. Did Nebraska deserve to win with 8 turnovers? We could have easily lost, for sure, but we scored more points than Nebraska, that means we deserved to win. Those players deserved that win.

So what part of coaching, heart, and luck equates to not deserving the win? Yes, we finally had a few things go our way which is almost unheard of for Iowa State. It was a complete TEAM EFFORT to win a tough road game without our two offensive leaders, and I don't understand how anyone can say we didn't deserve it. :no:
